Moto G 2015 vs Moto G 2014 (Video)

The Moto G is about to get replaced … by the Moto G. As we saw during our initial hands-on earlier this week, the 2015 model brings a few hardware bumps and much more customizability to Motorola’s best-selling smartphone of all time, and it packs some serious software improvements as well. While we’ll have complete impressions in next week’s full review, first let’s take a look at what’s changed between last year’s Moto G and this year’s. You may be surprised at where the new phone ...

AT&T comes clean about Lumia 830 Denim update (or lack thereof)

Every new smartphone stops getting updates eventually; maybe hardware requirements have gone up, or the user base has moved on to new handsets, but at some point it just stops making sense to allocate resource towards updating old phones. But even when it’s not explicitly stated, many of us assume there’s some level of grace period baked-in there – that we can expect a steady flow of updates for at least a year (and two if we’re lucky). Sadly, that’s just not the case in reality, and we’re finally getting formal confirmation of one smartphone that’s ...

Apple patent reveals new way to solve its sapphire needs

Apple has spent the last couple of years trying to make sapphire a primary component to the iPhone, but so far it hasn’t gone beyond the TouchID controls, and the primary camera lens. By now we already know the hole drama with GT Advanced a few months ago, sending Apple’s plans to a dramatic halt. We do see the company with some solutions for the current Apple Watch and Apple Watch Edition, ...

Is 2015 the year of the catch-up smartphones (and will any of them be any good)?

Some years we see amazing jumps in the technological specs that come packaged into smartphones. Other years, not so much. Regardless, smartphone makers try to release a really remarkable smartphone almost every year – but it seems like they miss that target more often than it’s hit.Part of that is likely due to the the fact that OEMs are engaged in a specs battle. Each maker has a product to build, and that product is measured by the sum of its parts. One with ...

Google’s next Android M preview release isn’t ready yet (but it should be worth the wait)

Apple releases intermediate beta updates for iOS and OS X to developers

Even though Apple is geared to continue perfecting its versions of iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan, that doesn’t mean that the company has stopped improving what still is active.

iOS Tips: How to forward text messages on iPhone

iOS Tips: How to forward text messages on iPhone

Let's say you have an important bit of info you received via an iMessage (or regular text message) on your iPhone, but now you need to get that info to someone else. Sure, you could retype it, or you could copy and paste, but there's an easier option: you can forward text messages - or even entire conversations - straight from your iPhone. Here's how.

To start, go to the message you're interested in forwarding. Find any part you want to forward, then hold your finger on it for a second or double-tap it. You'll see a pop-up appear with the words "Copy" and "More...." Tap "More..." and a blue checkmark will appear next to that part of the message, indicating it's selected for forwarding. You'll see empty circles next to other parts of the message, too. Tap them to select those parts of the message as well.

Forward Messages iPhone

When you've selected everything you want to forward, tap the arrow in the lower-right corner. Fill in the name of whoever you want to send it to in the "To" field, then tap Send, and the forwarded message will be on its way.

YotaPhone nixes US release of its double-sided E-ink phone

YotaPhone nixes US release of its double-sided E-ink phone

Despite a successful Indiegogo campaign, the YotaPhone 2 will not be released in North America, which was due to be shipped out starting August.

The company announced today that it would be canceling its plans to launch the phone due to "unforeseen delays" with its manufacturer which would mean that the handset would not make it into users before other regions were already getting newer, better, and less expensive YotaPhones.

The YotaPhone 2 sports a 5-inch AMOLED front display and an always-on, 4.7-inch touchscreen E-Ink screen on the rear.

It also has a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB internal storage, an 8MP rear camera and 2.1MP front snapper.

The Indiegogo campaign for the handset raised nearly $300,000, with at least 16 backers committing to the $1,050 tier.

With the cancelled launch, YotaPhone is offering two options to its backers, including receiving a refund or receiving the international YotaPhone 2 model, which only comes in black and will work all major carriers. Unfortunately, this model will not be able to support LTE.

What went wrong?

In its announcement, YotaPhone says that delays in both production and delivery of the North American variant of YotaPhone 2 from its manufacturer is the reason it is canceling the launch of the handset in this region.

"This was a shock to everyone at Yota Devices, and our leadership team, including our CEO, met with the manufacturer last week in a last-ditch effort to find a solution, but the logistics were insurmountable and the device would simply arrive too late."

It is currently unknown if these manufacturing issues will effect the YotaPhone 3, which was teased back in May.

The third generation YotaPhone is expected to come with a faster processor, sharper display, a better E-ink display, more RAM, a powerful camera and a thinner design.
